Hello everyone
One of the key objectives of the European Information Association is to
lobby the EU about its information products. We've recently had some
success with lobbying about the OJ on CD-ROM (see our website for
further details, www.eia.org.uk - 'About the EIA' and 'lobbying').
The issue of different online and printed versions of these judgements
is a crucial one which I feel we should also take up.
Does anyone have any further examples of printed vs electronic
differences like the one Sue discovered which we could use as evidence?
Best wishes
Catherine
